Medicare covers some bariatric surgical procedures, like gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic banding surgery, when you meet certain conditions related to morbid obesity. Note. Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers.
Your out-of-pocket cost for bariatric surgery depends on which procedure you choose and whether you have insurance. It ranges from $3,500 to $18,722 with insurance and from $8,096 to $27,324 without insurance. Learn whether your insurance covers it, how to get discounts, and whether you qualify for tax breaks.
